Fine Japanese Calligraphy

The Art of Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase

Trust No One

誰も信じるな (dare mo shinjiruna)

The Japanese word 誰も (read daremo) means "Everyone; Anyone" and Believe (shinjiru) as we talk about in detail elsewhere on the site means "to trust; to believe in". The final "na" at the end of the phrase means "Don't". So without the hiragana na at the end of the phrase this would mean "trust everyone" with the na it means "trust no one".
